Services
Research & Development for bakeries, pastry shops and the industry.
We don’t just tell you how to do it, we show you. We have a state of the art research and development facility that allows us to produce and replicate almost any conceivable configuration or challenge. If your production requirements call for a complicated process involving engineering or preparation, we can do the work ahead of time. This helps us to test and manage outside variables in a controlled environment. We can then take our findings and re-apply them anywhere in the world. This is one of the many ways we ensure quality while meeting the needs of our clients.
Professional Training.
We provide in-house or on-site training to assist your company and your manufacturing process. We have a training school where we can directly train your employees or we can come to your business and teach them directly. We will customize almost anything to fit your requirements.
Keep your staff inspired and on board with your vision, excite them with your direction, concepts or practices through regular training sessions. In addition, training will give them the knowledge and skills they need to successfully implement and execute your ideas.
Whether you bring in outside trainers or do in-house sessions offered by Badger International, we cannot stress enough the importance of continual training. It will keep your staff learning, growing and inspired.
Insect Baking.
Yes, you read that right! This is a trend that is growing all over the world and we were exposed to a unique line of products by a world leader in Finland. We brought this knowledge back to Canada and are excited to share with you. It’s high protein bread manufacturing with help from insect flour and is a very intriguing way of increasing protein in breads and buns while not affecting the taste or texture.
(*Please be aware, if you have a shellfish allergy, you may have a reaction to our insect-baked products.)
We have a lot of knowledge to share.
In addition to the above specialized services, we provide expertise in artisan production, freezer technology and production layouts, micro and pocket bakeries and more.
